The Humans

An adaptation of his own Tony-winning play, Stephen Karam’s directorial debut is a Thanksgiving dinner invitation you won’t want to turn down.

Erik Blake (Richard Jenkins) has gathered three generations of his Pennsylvania family to celebrate Thanksgiving at his daughter’s apartment in lower Manhattan. As darkness falls outside and eerie things start to go bump in the night, the group’s deepest fears are laid bare.

Featuring poignant, lived-in performances from a great ensemble cast (including Amy Schumer, Beanie Feldstein, Steven Yeun and June Squibb), this piercingly funny and haunting debut explores the hidden dread of a family and the love that binds them together.
